Are you guys keeping the original airbox from your T and just adding another peice to run to the air box, or are you using the xr8 airbox also?Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question I'm just having trouble picturing what you mean.Yeh, using the whole XR8 setup, then adding the Turbo snorkel back on.Ala Jamie XR's photo's Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11593-finished-first-mod/page/3/#findComment-139964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a rode ? what did this cost you from Ford dealer and did you need any other brackets to bolt filter body to body work. Did you feel any improvement in throttle responce? I'll order one tommorow. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11593-finished-first-mod/page/3/#findComment-139965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might make some diference, because you may have to have your car re-tuned after the CAI setup. - I think it best to do it first.Mark.

If it's not a rode ? what did this cost you from Ford dealer and did you need any other brackets to bolt filter body to body work. Did you feel any improvement in throttle responce? I'll order one tommorow. I bought my set up at cost price from Ford and the adapter from BPT.It takes very little to fit. I had to drill two holes in the body to secure the filter and that was it.I also had to cut a 83mm hole in the side of the filter housing to mount the adapter to the XR6 snorkle.If you dont want the hassle, buy BPTs as it already comes with the hole in the filter.He will even send you instructions on how to fit it. Barry sends all his gear COD and is very friendly and helpfull if you need to ask questions.

(Barry claims 10 rwkw) compared to original box. And did you try a better quality filter like BMC in the original air box before changing to your new setup?Neil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11593-finished-first-mod/page/3/#findComment-139980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it does for the XR6T but it's possible that it could be around the same mark. I would say around the 5-7 kw mark.A few of the guys on here have also adapted the XR8 snorkle to fit the standard XR6T airbox as well.
